Their performance will humiJiDte just about any four wheeler on the street. What we can't believe is that their brake hoses are stiIJ in the stone age. When you grab a hIIJldfuJ of brake the first thing the pressure does is expand the lines, not activate the brakes. Try it with your own bike-grip a hose r1r1Dly wbile you apply the brakeand you'D feel the wasted effon as the hose expands. With RusseD Cycleflex lll stainless brake hoses, there is no line expansion. So aU your effon goes to the calipers and rotors. The result is much like "power Iitdes". In fact you can expect up to JO~ reduction iD lever effon for the same stopping aaergy. ODe thing's for sure-once 70U try a set of RusseU lines on your bike. you'D never have a bike without tbem. Even a novice rider can fed the difference. Quality? The ultimate. Russell .• brake lines have been pressure tested to 5000 PSI without failure. Why? Because at ISOmph,only the best is good enough.
